Pryscilla made the tour an even more special moment. I was in Rio for the first time and the tours became even more unique with her charisma, competence and attention. Everything super well organized and the driver was also very quiet and with excellent direction. I recommend the job!

An enjoyable way to see Rio de Janeiro

It was a wonderful trip. The guide, Fabio, was knowledgeable and helpful. We started early in the morning to avoid the crowds. This was great for Christ the Redeemer, but the Sugarloaf cable car had large crowds. Still while returning we saw even larger crowds waiting for the cable cars. The lunch was quite lavish. Overall, despite the long waiting times, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would strongly recommend it.
